2. Experiencing opposition:
Similar to the previous exercise we will need a partner. Sit face to face. The other says to us in a convincing way, "You have no self-worth," or " You are worthless," or " You have no value as a person."
We look into his or her eyes and answer, "I deserve your love and acceptance exactly as I am." If we choose, we can add the condition, "…at this stage of my evolutionary process."
This goes on for about five minutes as the other continues to reject us in as a convincing way as he or she can (avoid laughing), while we continue to affirm that we deserve to be accepted and loved exactly as we are.
The more calmly we can affirm our right to be accepted and loved as we are, the more sure we are of the fact. The more we feel the need to force the other to accept it, the less sure we are.

3. Experiencing rejection:
Continue sitting face to face. Now the other holds a list that we have created containing the three criticisms we hear from others or from ourselves which most strongly or frequently undermine our feelings of self-worth. These should be written clearly so the other can read them.
The other looks into our eyes and tells us we are no good, or that we are not worthy because of one of the reasons we have written on the paper. He is now hitting us in our weak spot, where we usually lose our clarity and self love. We look into his eyes and answer, "the truth is that I deserve your love and acceptance exactly as I am." We can add, "…at this stage of my evolutionary process."
The other repeats the same phrase to us three to five times, and each time we answer him in the above mentioned way. Then he starts on the next stimulus on the list we have written.
In this way, we come to face our weak points concerning self-acceptance. The truth is that we have many weaknesses and faults, but as souls in the process of evolution, we deserve to be loved and respected as we are. In the same way, all others deserve our love and respect just as they are.
This exercise should be done slowly and consciously, as we seek to really feel that we deserve to be loved even when confronted with those criticisms which until now triggered our self-doubt.
